Lalibela Cuisine

I really don't want to leave this review but I would like to share my experience. I usually order the vegetarian platter for 2 and I have a gluten allergy so I've always ordered gluten free injera. The last 2 times I have gone and ordered the same platter with gluten free injera, I have felt sick and developed rashes all over my body. On December 10th, I told the waitress 2 times and made sure she understood that I am ordering gluten free because of an allergy. Then when our meal arrived I asked if this is gluten free. The next day I developed a rash. Prior to this time in the summer I called the restaurant because I was feeling ill after having the meal. They assured me that it was gluten free. I dont know if there is a language barrier or what is going on. Their menu clearly states that they sell gluten free injera. The food here is really delicious but I cant trust that they take my allergy serious. Its a shame because id eat here regularly. A few months back I also saw a tiny mouse running under the tables, I hope that has been resolved. I'd advise the staff to take these allergies seriously.

Lalibela has always been one of my family’s favourite places to dine in. My family and I enjoy the dishes, drinks, and most importantly the calm home like feeling. The food is always well cooked, the hospitality/service is A1, Shewa (the owner) is always very interactive, friendly and is always bubbly; her smile is always so lovely to see. I am also a celiac patient and they have a lot of gluten-free & gluten friendly options, making it very inclusive! Lalibela treats their customers as if they are family and we’ve been going there for over 10 years; itll never change. 10/10 for Lalibela.
